Self Destruction is a Choice
Self-Destruction Is A Choice by Mychal Massie
America is in a downward spiral, plummeting toward destruction – not because of depleted ozone, global warming, over population, mineral-resource depletion or any other silly pluripotent argument that is wheeled out daily. We are self destructing because of our choices. And while there was a time our choices appeared to be slowing down the inevitable, it now appears that all that is possible is being done to hasten same.
America is collapsing because, as a people, we have chosen to embrace lies over the truth. We have cursed that which is good and applauded that which is patently false. Evidence the applause and fanfare surrounding the anticipated release of "The Da Vinci Code." The book itself has been called "pure genius" and a "masterpiece that should be mandatory reading." It has been called "a delightful display of erudition" and "a mystery that challenges our intelligence."
Yet, the "Passion of the Christ" – a movie based entirely on historical fact, a movie based on the principle tenet of Christendom for over 2000 years, a movie about our Lord – is called "good for a laugh." Christians who embraced that movie were called "absurd." Dan Brown, author of the "Code," is as spiritually fatuous as his book is heretical, yet he is called brilliant and insightful, while Mel Gibson, creator and producer of "The Passion" was called "callous." The mainstream press, and many public figures, bemoaned the historical accuracy of the film as bad.
This is but one example of cursing the "Truth" while embracing a lie. It may seem redundant to point out the obvious, but when elementary school children are told it is good to learn about homosexuality – but not allowed to wear a tee-shirt with a Bible verse on it – I submit the end is near. When children learn about condoms and sexual practices – but are denied the right to give cards celebrating the birth of Christ or even drawing biblical pictures in art class – we as a nation stand on the precipice of destruction.
America is collapsing because we have become a culture that celebrates death. Abortion-on-demand and the removal of life-sustaining support from those who might or would in time recover – and who have expressed a desire to live – is barbarous. Encouraging people to seek euthanasia when perhaps they should seek counseling is not the sign of a righteous nation.
We are in a state of decline because the threats and peril our Founding Fathers faced – in order to establish a more perfect union, one that would not fall prey to the destructive policies they had witnessed others succumb to – are now embraced by those we elect and those who instruct our children.
We are collapsing under chaos and anarchy. Criminal codes and statutes are being willfully ignored by lawbreakers, and eagerly, albeit deceitfully, changed by the self-serving who are interested only in self-preservation.
Judges and the courts have forgotten their role. They routinely undermine the work of law enforcement. They aide and abet pedophiles and serial rapists by giving them less severe sentences than can be expected for mistreating animals. Instead of enforcing our laws and the Constitution, those we elect find ways to circumvent and subvert same for their personal gain. They support anarchy by assisting those sworn to destroy our way of life. Laws that have been established to protect society as a whole are disregarded so as to aid criminals. Witness the protests of illegal aliens and the support they enjoy from the White House down.
As I have previously stated, my understanding of eschatology provides me with assurance – but it does not provide me with the option – to seek out a comfortable spot on the hillside from which to furtively watch for the judgment of those below.
We have a duty to the present and whatever future remains. And that duty will not be accomplished by what amounts to a pagan worship of the Earth. It will be accomplished by reminding people of that which our forefathers held dear – the "Truth" that this great nation was founded upon.
This cannot be done by changing parties nor as it stands at present, by simply replacing one elected person with another. We must first reclaim our historical traditions, i.e., "Godly" worship, Godly families, and Godly educational institutions – many of which, lest we forget, were founded as church schools.
We must focus on raising up an army to take back our nation, even as those intent upon destroying it have sent forth their minions to accomplish the same. As one old-timer used to say: "We don't need to know how much time is left – we need to use whatever is left wisely."
